Hi
Yes my D800 are about 3 metres apart on the wall behind my speakers. All my cables run under the floor so the connecting cable is about 4 metres long. As I am very happy to make my own cables I made a Klotz 5000 cable which works fine, then a friend found/bought some ex BBC 75 ohm coax cable and I have made up a cable with that, seems to sound pretty good to me.
Had a Mike Oldfield session yesterday - I know its not fashionable to like him but there is some complex stuff going on in there. After a couple of albums SWMBO asked why it sounded so detailed and that the percussion was unusually clean and clear so I suppose something is working quite well.
Also meant to post here that coming from a D400 to the D800 that it is a quantum leap in performance and seems to drive the Magico's fantastically well, can't wait for the 1000 PRO now should be even better.
Mind you all this should be taken with a pinch of salt as I am still listening with my faithful Raspberry Pi and HiFi Berry Digi+ as a Roon endpoint and loving it so my hearing is definitely suspect!!!
